if you put a little bit of garlic on the dry dog food she will eat it, or if put some human food on it she will start to like it more so after a while she will eat it without anything on it

For my dogs, I mix a little canned food (watered down) with dry food. The canned attracts them to the food & acts like a gravy. She's gonna be a big dog & really need the nutrients in dry dog food & it'll keep her teeth cleaner. You're doing the right thing by getting her to eat the food that is designed for her. She may give you a hard time at first, but she'll learn if you don't give in.
Good luck.

stay with the same dog food... even if you change the dog food she will just want table food. you need to break the habit of table food so just leave the dry dog food out and DO NOT give her any human food. when she gets really hungry she will only go to the only place she knows where food is which is the place where you leave the dry dog food . REMEMBER DO NOT CAVE IN. she might look like she wont eat anything but table food but she will not starve herself so she will go to the dry dog food .

Try buying small bags of diffent kinds and see which one she eats. If you leave it out and do not feed her table scraps she will eat the dog food. If she still does not eat it after a day or two, take her to the vet as she may have a condition preventing her from eating it.
